A Few Plain Words.
Sunday’s Telegraph contained an
article upon the funerals of Alexander
the Great, Julius Osar, Duke of Wel
lington and Napoleon, preceded by ed
itorial lines as follows:
“As to the funerals of other distin
guished military leaders, we find an
account ol them in a modern compila
tion, which may be read with interest
just now.”
Anybody in the world but a fool will
see that there is in this a distinct
disavowal of any claim to the matter
that follows. And anybody but a fool
will understand that the matter is not
editorial expression from any paper,
but a mere compilation of historical
facts.
But the Athens Banner-Watchman
takes it upon itself to say that the
Telegraph stole the editorial from the
Boston Advertiser and tried to pass it
off as the brain work of an editor in
this office. And further, that “it was
clearly the intention of the Telegrapu
and Messenger to leave the impres
sion on the public mind that the leader
in his Sunday’s paper was original.”
Also, that this journal recently “stole
editorial from the Nashville Ameri-
l.“
To which wo reply direct that the
editor of the Athens Banner-Watch
man is a liar. And we distinctly ad
mit here that we do not publish this
an original discovery nor as news,
but simply as a reply to the statements
reproduced above. If there is any
where in Georgia a more notorious liar
he is lurking behind this one.
While thus kicking aside this offen
sive polecat for the second time this
year, the Telegraph desires to state
that it has and can have no contro
versy whatever with him. It recog
nizes the fact that he is being used as
dirty tool by the same clique
we have denounced so often,
befoul and render odious the ap
proaches to its hiding place.
Neither the Boston Advertiser
nor Chicago Times which contained
the funeral article are apt to go into
the Banner-Watchman office unless
mailed from same paper in Georgia
that exchanges with them. The mat
ter is too transparent and contemptible
to treat further.

hints at. Wa do not btlieva that the de-

Cocaine.
The world has heard much of late of
the power of cocaine to alleviate pain
in surgical operations of the eyes. Those
who have been attentive newspaper
readers have been informed of how the
sufferings of General Grant wero con
stantly relieved by the application of
cocaine. To the unprofessional mind
the new discovery has presented only
wonderful anastlietic when applied to
point of pain. But it appears that it
has remedial and curative properties
also, which render it invaluable.
Perhaps all the good proper
ties ot cocaine have not yet been dis
covered, but even in its present shape
it affords relief for most distressing
complaints.
It lias been a standing reproach to
the medical profession that no cure dr
even palliative has been found for hay
fever. The profession lias been dis
posed to langli at this, tor the reason
that the victims of hay fever are not
very numerous, the disease itself lasts
but a few weeks, and nobody dies of it.
Still the patient suffers torture, and
everything the doctor recommends or
prescribes only aggravates the dif
ficulty.
Thousands of remedies have been
tried in vain, and a club of hay-fever
patients meet annually in the White
Mountains to compare notes, to swap
sneezes, and to soil handkerchiefs.
Asthma has alio been considered an
incurable complaint, but one that is
generally attendant upon longevity. It
would appear that cocaine promises
not only relief, but cure to those affect
ed with the diseases named.

an Ooen Latter to Georgia Pclitlolanr,
Recently an Ohio politician signed
the petition of a man who wanted an
office underthe present administration
The office was given as asked, and the
politician wrote to the Fresident that
the mao was unfit for the position, and
he, the politician, had signed bis peti
tion merely to get rid of him.
Upon this the Fresident replied as
follows:
hsvo been deceived snd tabled by lying and
treacherous repieientstlon*, you ore the tint
one that huso tiankly owned his grievous
fault. If any comfort is to be extracted Irom
this uinrssco you uo welcome to it Yours
truly, Groveb CLEVELaNP.
This letter may be read with special
interest by sundry Georgia politicians,
particularly those in the Legislature
who have signed the petitions of men
notoriously unfit for public positions.
It is quite certain that the adminis
tration has not been so deceived and
imposed upon, as in some of the Geor
gia appointments.
It's mortification ib likely to be added
to by sundry rejections by the Senate?
Under such circumstances a copy of
the letter we have quoted might be
mailed to those who have used and be
trayed the administration for their own
selfish purposes.
The Reformatory School.
Dr. Felton is disposed to display some
warmth at the defeat of his measure to
establish a reformatory school in con
nection with the present convict sys
tem.
The difficulty in the way is that pub
lic sentiment is opposed to any action
that may tend to make the present con
vict system a permanent one.
A reformatory institution for the
younger class of criminals will come in
time no doubt, just as other States have
adopted houses of correction for juve
nile offenders.
What is needed now is a better sys
tem for the safe keeping and punish
ment of criminals. Tito man or men
who can devise one that will promise
better results, will be doing a great
work and will commend themselves to
the people as statesmen and philan
thropists.
The task is not without great diffi
culties, but it will have to be met, and
worked not by a political party or with
partisan feeling. The present systftnis
faulty and unsatisfactory, but mero op
position to it and denunciation of it
cannot correct the evil.
The good people of Georgia are ready
and ripe for a radical change, and do
not desire to use palliatives or opiates,
but would like to see the surgeon’s
knife in a strong hand cut at the roots
of the cancer.
Tho first great step in a reformation
of governmental methods in this State
is the elimination of the chain-gang
as a political element. For years the
convicts, debarred of political rights
and tho voting franchise, have really
exerted a greater influence in State
affairs than the thousands of voters
who have cast their ballots as direct
ed by a close and powerful ring,

“ TRUE Ilf ARTS WILL HONOR YOU.”
[To Representative Harrison who recently,
In the Legislature of Georgia, opposed certain
resolutions upon the death ot den. u. 8. Grant

And all your wounds, oh! gallant heart! were
bravely borne In front;
Now in her council halls you stand,undaunted
tho' alone,
To keep unstained her self respect, and vindi

You feln would honor a dead foe! eye! honor
more, not less,
Became your tribute scorned the taint of fe

Bat Dignity hss veiled her face, Truth wears

If so, as on the Grecian’s sealf, it arms an an

Jove’s armory shelves,
Bnt cannot wield his thunderbolt, unless to

These clamors of a servile day, this shrill

Aatotho Militia.
We copy this morning from the Sa
vannah Nows an editorial upon the
militia bill, now pending in the Legis
lature, that covers about all that need
be said in Its favor. It Is too late to
discuss the necessity for a State mili
tia. Events have demonstrated the
absolute necessity of this able arm of
the law time and again, both as an ac
tive and inactive factor in the preserv
ation of the peace.
The Telxgrafu has been for years
the champion of the State militia. It
has pointed out in detail what is need
ed to make the force independent and
effective. It has shown that
the necessity for a finely
ganized and thoroughly equipped
militia increases rather than dimin
ishes. .What was true of our arguments
in 1880, is doubly true now; and in 1800
the arguments will have doubled again
Georgia needs a strong military force
She should arm, equip and sustain it
upon a liberal basis. Only under such
treatment can it become effective, and
serve a use other than mere display.
We are informed that tho pending bill
Is not perfect, but as our contemporary
says, “Its weak points will be brought
out during the discussion of it,” and it
can be Amended to perfection.
This Is a matter that every legislator
should consider earnestly. It affects
very nearly the welfare of this people.
Ths Joint Sub-Committee on the Rail'
way Commission.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Now
tbat tbe joint mb-committee of tbe Leg
islature be* reported on tbe railroads and
the Commission, it is In order for the peo
ple and tbe press to say what they
tbink ot tbe report. In my opinion, ft
covers the entire ground and offers a so
lution of tbe vexed question that tbe good
sense of tbe Legislators and the people of
Georgia can not fail to accept. Of tbe
committee, It mnst be said, that it was
chosen on account of tbe high atending,
experience, ability, and tbe well-known
honesty of purpose of tbe gentlemen com
posing it in affairs of Slats, as well as to
all other matters of business. As snob, It
is entitled to tbe fullest confidence of tbe
people, and its report is by far tbe ablest
and moat conservative document tbat baa
aver been presented to the people of Geor
gia on tbe subject.
Its means ot Information could not be
better. From the report we team tbat
every facility was placid at tta command.
Tbe entire (bride management and work
ings of tba railroads were laid bare for its
in»|iection, and althoogh tba commlasion.
Mlaeliocted, Perhaps.
The indignant letter of Mr. Cleve
land to some party who had deceived
him by indorsing an unfit person for
office, hae been widely copied and com
mented on by the prose of the coun
try.
Universal regret is expressed that
real names are not given. As pub
lished, the letter would seem to have
been directed to an Ohio politician,
but there is enough to warrant more
than a suspicion that it waa intended
for a Georgian.
The Washington Star says:
Tba impression la tbat tba nan who lot so
■evenly bandied by tbe President, to tbe let

To those familiar with recent event*

snugly certain petitions that have gone

that they are joatly entitled to it* spirit

GEORGIA BAR ASSOCIATION.
SECOND DAY'S rBOCHDINOS, ELECTION Ot
OFFICERS—DOWN WITH THE POOL—TUHEHAL
OF DE BBADFVELD,
TELEGRAPH BUREAU, 17X PEACHTREE 8T„
Atlanta, Anguat 6, 1885,
The meeting of the Bar Association to
day was fully as tnterezting and the atten
dance as large as the session yesterday.
Daring tbe morning session two admirable
papers were read. Ona by Judga Sam
Hall, of the Supreme Bench on "The Jary
System of Georgia,” and one by Alec King.
Esq., of Atlanta, on the eubject of "hand
Titles In Georgia.” Both papers were
beard with marked attention and interest.
PRIZE XB1AYI.
Lest year the Association offered a prize
of 850 for the best essay to be competed for
the meeting this year. Only two
essaye were handed to. one by Fulton
Colville, Etq., of Atlanta, the other by Chas.
Presley, E*q., of Augusta. The first
had for Its subjeot, “The Legal
right* of married women in Georgia.” The
second was on the subject “The jury sys
tem.” Both were ao excellent tbat tbe
committee was unable to come to a de
cision as to which was the better, aud
finally compromised by dividing tbe prlzs
money, giving to each of the gentlemen
$25.
NEW OFFICERS.
At the morning session au election
waa held tor olticeri lor the next year,
which resulted in the (election of Major
Jos. B. Cnmming, of Augusta, president.
W. B. Hill, of Macon, secretary, and Bam'l
Barrett, of Atlanta, treasurer.
At tbe afternoon cession much time wa*
consumed to the discussion cf the report
of tbe committee charged with drafting
another bill to regulate the study of law
and admission to the bar in this State.
There developed, ns yesterday, a decided
opposition to soy change, and especially
tue change proposed in the draf.ed bill.
Jndve Lyon, of Macon, succeeded In giving
tbe bill the list stab, which proved to be
fatal. Upon motion, the whole matter was
laid on the table, a large majority voting
forth* motion.
The association before adjourning de
cided to establish a law journal if practic
able, and charged the executive commit,
ter with looking after the necessary de
tails.
DOWN WITH THE POOL.
The Southern Railway and Steamshin
Association waa before the Georgia rail
road commission this morning, on the pe
tition of tbe chamber ot commerce and
merchants of Atlanta. The petitioners
badstnt out circulars to tbe boards of
trede and city authorities over the Btaie
Inviting them to be present, and tbe at
tendance was large. Nearly all the rail
roads In tbe pool were represented by able
and distinguished counsel. Gen. A. It.
Lawton represented the Central, Major
CummlDg the Georgia railroad, Judge Chis
olm the Savannah, Florida and Western,
and Jndge Hopkins the Richmond and
Danville and the Georgia Pacific. Tbo p«-
titiouera by the law firm of Mynatt &
Howell. The Issue made np by the pe
tition was ably and exhaustively argned
by both sides. The commission, after
bearing tbe argument, reserved their de
cision. whicn will probably not bo an
nounced before their next regular monthly
meeting.
The reanltof this remarkable proceeding
will be awaited with interest by all parties
concerned.
DAWSON COLONY.
There is quit* a large and pleasant col
ony here from Dawson, in the good county
of Terrell, spending the summer in At
lanta. Yesterday tne whole party spent
the day at Ponce de Leon, and hat an old-
faahloned picnic, which waa greatly enjoy
ed. Tbe following le probably an accurate
list of the party, although a few names
may have been omitted:
Col. L. O. Hay end family, Col. J. G.
Parks and family, Hon. U. B. Stevens and
family, Jndge T. M. Jones and family,
Capt. D. J. Ray and family, Mrs. W. L
Traynham sod family, Hon. Wm. Kalgler,
Mr. J, D. Laing, Mrs. T. J. Harper and
After declaring tha railroad! "entitled
to sufficient compensation to cover ope
rating expenses, tbe cost of maintenance,
improvement and renewal of property, to
addition to a fair average return on the
valte of the investment and risk incur
red,” tha Governor explains the office of
the Commission to be, "to determine, In
ease of dispute between th* shipper* and
railway manager*, wbat is just and reas
onable compensation." Here, It la tri
dent, the Ouvemor doe* not see any ex
cuse for action by the Commission, except
where tcere ts a “dispute between toe
shippers sod th* rtilwsy managers,” and
then, only as arbitrators, to say what
woold be fair and jtut between them.
But to clinch this argument, he expressly
declares Ihst "Ui* powers of theCommls-
• onsboulu no. bs ui limited.” For which
reasons h* recommends tbat “to* sugges
tion of to* Commission Itself on the sub
ject of appetls be adopted” by tbe Legtelt-
tun. Now, wbsn I remember tbat tola
“suggestion of the Commission” to its
tenth Mmi-auunal report was to to* ifnet
that tbe Legislature should modify the
statute by giving the railroads toe rtabt of
appeal, 1 am oonfonndad by to* last

it argues not only th* ravaist of tola aog-

tbe minds of tba Commission in to* short
■i ac* of a fe v months, and a dventarotu * f-

their friends and laavas them at to* mercy

appears to a plain etiixen, belongs to all
